Platform.sh

Blackfire has built-in support for Platform.sh projects. The integration is made simpler as Blackfire agent and probe are installed and enabled by default on all Platform.sh accounts.

Setting-Up Blackfire Credentials In Your Project

Set the Blackfire server credentials and client credentials as environment variables (run this command from the root directory of your project):

To auto-fill server credentials in the command below, or first

platform var:create --name=BLACKFIRE_SERVER_ID --value=XXXX --level=project --prefix=env: --json=false --sensitive=false --visible-build=false
platform var:create --name=BLACKFIRE_SERVER_TOKEN --value=XXXX --level=project --prefix=env: --json=false --sensitive=false --visible-build=false
platform var:create --name=BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_ID --value=XXXX --level=project --prefix=env: --json=false --sensitive=false --visible-build=false
platform var:create --name=BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_TOKEN --value=XXXX --level=project --prefix=env: --json=false --sensitive=false --visible-build=false

Note

You may also use your Platform.sh console

Configuring Your App

The configuration of your application depends on its type.

PHP Application

Add the blackfire PHP extension to the .platform.app.yaml project file:

runtime:
    extensions:
        - blackfire

Python Application

Note

Your application must have the Blackfire Probe installed as a pip dependency.

Update your .platform.app.yaml file to:

  1. Configure the Blackfire Probe and Agent;

# .platform.app.yaml
variables:
    env:
        BLACKFIRE_AGENT_SOCKET: 'unix:///run/blackfire.sock'
        BLACKFIRE_LOG_FILE: '/tmp/blackfire.log'
  1. Use the blackfire-python binary to start your webserver.

        socket_family: unix
    # Commands are run once after deployment to start the application process.
    commands:
        # Replace "my_app.wsgi" by your actual WSGI script.
        start: "blackfire-python gunicorn -w 4 -b unix:$SOCKET my_app.wsgi:application"

Builds Requires Enterprise

Follow these steps to enable Blackfire builds on all your platform’s environments each time a branch is deployed (after a push, merge, or redeploy event):

  • Download and install the platform utility;
  • Enable the Blackfire’s integration on Platform.sh:

To auto-fill token credentials and environment UUID in the command below, or first

platform integration:add --type=webhook --url='https://TOKEN_USER:TOKEN_PASSWORD@blackfire.io/api/v2/builds/env/ENV_UUID/platformsh'

The command asks several questions. Hit enter to accept the default for all of them. If you get a permission error, ask a project admin to upgrade your account or ask someone who is an admin to run this command.

Now, whenever you push to a Platform.sh environment, Blackfire will automatically trigger a build for this specific environment. Blackfire scenarios will be run for all your pull requests.

Github integration

If you are using Github and if you have setup the synchronization between GitHub and Platform.sh, don’t forget to configure the Blackfire GitHub notification channel. That way, Blackfire will post a status on your GitHub pull requests.
